You are welcome to do so, just ensure that whatever repo you place it in allows for updates. Check out Conrads OBS-based for a working RPM.dolphin wrote:We build and support NameCoin on RedHat and CentOS for our own needs (http://www.securedolphin.com). We also blogged on changes, necessary to compile and run NameCoin on CentOS and RedHat (http://securedolphin.com/blog/running-n ... -redhat-62 and http://securedolphin.com/blog/building- ... -centos-62). We'd be happy to take on the RedHat/CentOS package maintenance as expression of our gratitude to the NameCoin community.
BTW, it seems that CentOS/RedHat builds are failing to produce RPM due to dependency package naming problem (the BerkleyeDB is called differently on CentOS/RedHat). I imagine there are a few more problems that would need to be resolved before the build yields an RPM.
At some point, we will have to figure out some security auditing for the various package management systems. With Conrad's OBS we just have to trust one maintainer and auditing is fairly simple since it downloads the binaries directly from Github. I know you have been working on getting it to build from source on RedHat, but is that the best way to go here?
